Here in England the welfare of the State depends on the conduct of our aristocracy.
Anthony Trollope
I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
Speeches easy to young speakers are generally very difficult to old listeners.
Anthony Trollope
Upon the present occasion London was full of clergymen. The specially clerical clubs, the Oxford and Cambridge, the Old University, and the Athenaeum, were black with them.
Anthony Trollope
We can generally read a man's purpose towards us in his manner, if his purposes are of much moment to us.
Anthony Trollope
No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself.

When you have done the rashest thing in the world it is very pleasant to be told that no man of spirit could have acted otherwise.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
Taken altogether, Washington as a city is most unsatisfactory, and falls more grievously short of the thing attempted than any other of the great undertakings of which I have seen anything in the United States.
Anthony Trollope
Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.
Anthony Trollope
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
Anthony Trollope
In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party but the system has now gone out of vogue.
Anthony Trollope
One can only pour out of a jug that which is in it.
Anthony Trollope
Fame is a skittish jade, more fickle even than Fortune, and apt to shy, and bolt, and plunge away on very trifling causes.
Anthony Trollope
One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.
Anthony Trollope
An enemy might at any time become a friend, but while an enemy was an enemy he should be trodden on and persecuted.
Anthony Trollope
Beware of creating tedium!
